jewelry

Bijouterie is jewelry made of inexpensive metals and rhinestones. But there is a special kind of costume jewelry that is designed to imitate more upscale jewelry. These are jewelry that at first glance are difficult to distinguish from natural jewelry.

This type of jewelry, being a high-quality imitation of precious stones and metal, is popular among fashionable youth and creative people, as well as among people who do not want the problems that arise with real jewelry. Such jewelry does not look clumsy and quite expensive.

Initially, costume jewelry was used as stage props, catchy and noticeable to the farthest rows of the audience. Subsequently, it was the actors, who began to wear these fake jewelry in everyday life, who introduced the fashion for jewelry. For low-income people, this has proven to be a convenient way to dress up without spending too much money.

However, jewelry is not always cheap. Antique costume jewelry, for example, Italian, will currently cost very decent money, even if it is not made of precious materials. There is also modern designer jewelry, the difference of which is that it is produced in very limited quantities and therefore also expensive.

Many famous jewelry designers specialize in costume jewelry.Their customers are the rich and famous, driven by a variety of reasons, including a sense of security, the pleasure of a beautiful trinket, or simply the desire to conform to fashion trends. Many owners of famous or expensive jewelry order fakes for them - replicas, assuring that they are much calmer this way, and they are not afraid of losing an irreplaceable jewelry or being robbed.

Men also did not remain indifferent to wearing jewelry. A men's tie pin made by a famous designer from a jewelry alloy and plated with rhodium, with a stone - an insert of turquoise, will show a true adherent of gentleman's style in the man who puts it on. Also, some men use bracelets, belt buckles and cufflinks, which can also be attributed to jewelry. Recently, men's rings made of steel, with inserts of semi-precious stones, have been relevant.

When creating jewelry jewelry, inserts from semi-precious stones, cubic zirkonia, moissanite, zircons and Swarovski crystals are traditionally used.

This type of jewelry is usually made from base metals such as pewter, which is the basis of a jewelry alloy called pewter. Gold-plated jewelry is usually made from this alloy.

Bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) is also very popular in the manufacture of jewelry, the chic appearance of which is given by 10 carat gold plating.

Brass (also a copper-based alloy, but with the addition of zinc) is considered a cheaper material, used mainly for the most inexpensive jewelry.

Nickel silver (which is the result of a mixture of copper, nickel and zinc), as well as the more expensive cupronickel compared to it (copper, zinc, iron and manganese) are light gray in color and for this reason are electroplated to look like silver or platinum.

A special alloy used in the creation of jewelry jewelry is "Dubai gold". This is a jewelry alloy of brass and randol, which is almost indistinguishable from gold.
